Send us Fan Mail On today's minisode, I'm talking about my auntie Alison who passed away in October at the age of 86. Alison never had children, and was single for the last 15 years of her life after her husband passed away. But despite this, she lived a life full of joy, love, and meaning; and she most certainly wasn't lonely or alone — far from it. I hope that this minisode brings...

Send us Fan Mail On today’s Monday Motivation, Polly and I are talking about possibility. So many of us hold ourselves back in life because we don’t think things are possible for us.

Send us Fan Mail On today's minisode, I'm talking about those feelings of being 'less than' that sometimes creep into our minds, even when we're happily living our single, childfree lives. I'm also talking about how, no matter how secure we might be in who we are, being around certain people from our past can make us regress back to our 17-year-old selves.  The truth...

Send us Fan Mail On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly & I are talking about living intentionally.

Send us Fan Mail On this week's minisode, I'm talking about finding a balance between being happily single, but also desiring a relationship.  The duality between loving your life here and now, and wanting to be in a relationship, can feel contradictory; but one does not cancel out the other. In this episode, I share my thoughts on how we can both embrace our lives right now, whilst also...

Send us Fan Mail On this week's Thursday Thoughts, Polly and I are talking about embracing ageing. It’s time to change the narrative - and let’s face it, we’re talking about women here - that you are ‘past your sell by date’ once you hit 40, 50, 60 etc. The truth is that age brings with it so many wonderful things, not least confidence, wisdom and experience. And can choose to embrace getting...

Send us Fan Mail On today's minisode, I'm talking about the idea that we get to choose happiness. Rewind several years, and I really didn't understand the concept that I could choose to be happy.
